Stark Estate

Malibu City.

Malibu Street.

Number 10880.

Razor Villa stands on the Pacific Ocean coast.

A magnificent and luxurious manor is located here.

Its design is grand and luxurious.

As a private villa, the area within a radius of hundreds of acres is almost entirely owned by the Stark Family.

Night was falling.

A dazzling and beautiful glow appeared on the horizon.

To entertain the guests, Tony Stark spent a fortune hiring a renowned chef from France to oversee all the dishes at the banquet.

Even Tony Stark himself wore a well-tailored, expensive suit, tied a tie, and had his hair and beard meticulously groomed.

Swirling the stemmed glass filled with sweet wine.

Stark eagerly awaited the news.

Soon, a supersonic aircraft painted with the shape of a bald eagle landed directly on Stark Estate.

Nick Fury Captain America disembarked from the plane one after the other.

"Stark."

"You really know how to enjoy yourself."

Nick Fury looked on with envy.

This banquet probably cost no less than a million US dollars!

He truly deserves to be called a world-renowned billionaire.

They're so rich they can do whatever they want!

"Fury, this guy... he looks kind of familiar."

Tony's eyes flickered.

"He is Steve Rogers, your father's close friend, the famous Captain America."

"A legendary figure during World War II."

"He slept for seventy years until workers operating in the polar regions suddenly discovered him."

Fury offered to introduce himself.

Before he could finish speaking...

Happy Hogan and Pepper Potts were speechless.

Steve Rogers...?

He's still alive!

Absolutely incredible!

His legendary experiences are already widely known.

The legendary World War II veteran, who has been extensively featured by the America Federal Government, has reappeared before the public across the river of time.

Even Tony Stark couldn't help but show a strange look in his eyes.

When Howard Stark was still alive, he often mentioned Steve Rogers.

"Team leader."

"Hello."

"I am Tony Stark, chairman of Stark Industries, a billionaire and playboy."

You can also call me...

"Iron Man."

Tony was the first to greet them.

Times have changed.

Technology is the primary productive force!

His Iron Man Armor represents the future.

"Tony ..."

"Nice to meet you."

"I am very grateful to your father for making me a Vibranium Shield. Without this shield, I might not have been able to defeat the Nazis."

Steve Rogers laughed.

However.

Tony Stark made no comment and showed no intention of shaking his hand.

Please don't take offense.

My boss has severe mysophobia.

Pepper quickly tried to smooth things over.

The misunderstanding with Steve Rogers was finally cleared up.

"Obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

"That's a really strange statement."

"I thought you were arrogant and looked down on me."

Steve Rogers's words were laced with sarcasm.

Tony shrugged.

He simply didn't care about Steve Rogers' opinion.

He had been eagerly anticipating Chen Ji's arrival!

"Tony."

Are you sure you've found a real magician?

"Instead of some circus Joker?"

Fury, with practiced ease, pried open an expensive bottle of Lafite and downed it in one gulp.

"You drank three thousand dollars of my money in one gulp."

"Fury."

"You know, lying makes no sense."

"I witnessed a miracle at Woodlawn Cemetery."

Tony was beaming with excitement.

Magic!

He has frequently appeared in various fantasy stories since ancient times. He has always believed that magic does not exist and that modern technology is another form of magic.

However.

The bizarre sight he witnessed completely shattered his understanding of the world!

You said he's from the East?

"Of Chinese descent? Or...?"

"I cannot allow a sorcerer of unknown origin to participate in my Avengers Initiative."

"This is dangerous."

Nick Fury said seriously.

A sharp glint flashed in his single eye.

Who can guarantee that Chen Ji isn't a spy for a major Eastern power?

If he gets out of control, the federal leadership will be furious, and he could even be stripped of his position!

"Don't think your Avengers Initiative is so sophisticated."

"I can easily ditch you and go it alone."

Tony looked at him with a sarcastic expression.

He thought Nick Fury was incredibly stupid.

This mysterious sorcerer from the East, who also has an organization and affiliation, would never participate in the makeshift Federal Government team.

If it weren't for the research data provided by S.H.I.E.L.D.., which helped him solve his palladium problem, he wouldn't have bothered with Nick Fury at all!

"Going solo?"

Nick Fury's expression froze.

He hadn't really considered that question.

"Etc."

"You're all talking about magic?"

Steve Rogers frowned.

This was a blind spot in his knowledge.

"That's right."

"He has promised to come to Stark Estate by evening."

"Happy can testify."

Tony nodded.

"Yes."

"But..."

It seems like time has passed.

Happy looked sullen.

Just then.

Swish!

A dazzling and intense magical spark swirled and opened.

To everyone's astonishment, it suddenly transformed into a teleportation portal.

A young man in a robe, with a brisk pace, stepped through the teleportation portal and arrived directly at Stark Estate.

His eyes were bright and lively, his facial features were sharply defined, and he exuded a mysterious aura. He also had a black Cloak draped over his shoulders.

"You?!"

"Nick Fury exclaimed."

He had seen that figure in Times Square New York!

"I never imagined we'd meet again after parting ways at Woodlawn Cemetery."

Tony Stark remained solemn, showing no sign of negligence.

"I already said that."

We will meet again.

Chen Ji smiled.

He arrived at Stark Estate at just the right time.

The roast meat prepared by the Michelin chef also happened to be served.

This steak is generously portioned and, thanks to the chef's meticulous preparation, is sprinkled with a secret blend of spices, making it incredibly tempting.

He would never tell Tony that he had already hidden in the Mirror Dimension, spying on everything from behind the screen.

"List."

Where did you learn magic?

"What was the name of the spell you just cast?"

Tony Stark asked curiously.

With his intelligence and talent, if he could join Chen Ji's sect, he would surely make a name for himself. He had no doubt about that!

"Kamar-Taj."

"I come from a place called Kamar-Taj."

"This is a secret sacred site hidden from the world."

"And the ability I use should more accurately be called Secret Art Magic."

"Stark."

"You invited me to your manor."

"That's all?"

Chen Ji buried himself in his rice.

With such delicious food before us, how could we possibly waste it?

"No."

"On the contrary."

"I am very curious about the mission of you Mystic Arts Mage."

"You..."

"What danger does it exist to defend against?"

Stark narrowed his eyes slightly.

Since Mystic Arts Mage also have organizations, they must also have missions and rules to fight for. Who leads the Mystic Arts Mage Mystic Arts Mage, and when do they act?

This is the issue that Tony Stark cares about!

After all, Kamar-Taj, as a reclusive sect, must have its own purpose in spending so much money and resources to cultivate countless Mystic Arts Mages!

He desperately wanted to know the truth.

This allows him to prepare in advance; he doesn't trust Kamar-Taj, he only trusts his own wisdom!

[The Cursed by Knowledge] (Jin): A near-abnormal learning ability, Divine Intelligence that transcends time, able to understand and comprehend any knowledge in any field.

Divine Intelligence!

Do you understand?!

"Good question."

"Tony."

"The reason I've come to keep this appointment is to tell you..."

"The Earth is in imminent danger."

"Even the leader of Kamar-Taj, or even the All-King of the Gods of Asgard, is not enough to quell this incident."

Chen Ji put down his knife and fork, his expression serious.

This instantly triggered an alarm in Tony Stark's mind.

"Earth..."

"On the verge of death?"

"And what you mean by Asgard? King of the Gods? Are you referring to Odin?"

Steve Rogers was taken aback.

It is said that Red Skull, the Mastermind of the HYDRA, found the 'Dragon Jade' left by Odin in Tønsberg Cathedral.

Turn out to be...

Norse Mythology isn't made up at all?!

But... it's true!

Nick Fury's one eye suddenly shrank.

The information he received was completely beyond his comprehension, but he did not voice his doubts.

Anyway, this Mystic Arts Mage will find out.
